St.A Reebok Pump 20

Posted in Uncategorized on November 18, 2009 by Hachi

The dudes over at St.A killed it with this!  I’m stoked to see that my artwork was chosen to be both a part of the product, and also as a addition to the package.

Check out more images of the St.Alfred/Reebok Pump 20 project here. And if you’re in the Chicago area, go check out the release party!

 

Grub for Hugs

A friend asked me to design something for an non-profit organization here in Hawaii called HUGS.  This holiday season they are going to be providing food for the families of seriously ill children, thus the name.  Check out more about the group here.  And here’s the design…

Natives Are Restless: Process

Posted in Uncategorized on October 17, 2009 by Hachi

I posted the “Natives are Restless” design release from Kicks/HI a while back, but I figured I’d share a little bit about how I work.

This project started pretty simply.  Chris asked me to come up with a “Natives are Restless” design that didn’t overlap or recycle any of the previous designs they’ve done surrounding this theme.  These are the rough sketches I sent back…

As you can tell, I thought that the skull idea held the most promise for the project.  They felt the same and asked me to develop the idea further.

At this point the artwork was pretty much done…

And here’s the final artwork as it appears on the t shirts.

Working with Kicks is always a good experience…I wish all of my projects went this smoothly!

New York Pt. 2

Some signs, studio visits and lion water fountains.

*Update: 11/5/09 – Seems there was some recent confusion about the studio visits below due to my lack of photo commentary…it’s now fixed.

New York

Posted in Uncategorized on September 24, 2009 by Hachi

I just got back from a week in New York visiting friends and connects. Don’t want to bore anyone too much with the details of the trip…but it suffices to say that I needed it.  Here’s some of the people, sights and flavors of my nyc…

RaiRaiKen…my favorite Miso Ramen.

Burger Joint @ Le Parker Merridien Hotel. Best burger in the world…serious.

Headed out to Bay Ridge and ate at Five Guys Burgers…this burger was ridiculous!

Got to take a short ride out to the pier after that burger.

If you look real close you can see the Statue of Liberty next to that “SF” on my friend Bagger’s hat.

RaiRaiKen…again.  Like I said, it’s my favorite.

Caracas…if you don’t know about Venezuelan Arepas…you need to try this spot!  My friend Razauno hooked up the graphics as well…

The Infamous Zoo York Stairway…

Soba-ya Restaurant dinner with a few friends.

Sorry, I was so hungry I ate a little before the picture…

And here too…

Madeleine Patisserie…the Macaroon’s are Amazing!

There was a bunch more that I did, and a lot more people that I saw…but as you can tell I’m a terrible photographer; I was too busy living the moment to capture it!  Much thanks to my friends Max & Bethany for putting me up…until next time New York!
